"I said I was okay but inside I wasn’t. At the end, everything came crashing down as I realised what a serious ordeal I'd been through.”

Aimee was diagnosed with cancer at 12 years old and everything changed. It was only after reaching out to Canteen that she was able to deal with her cancer experience and receive support from other young people.

“It’s overwhelming sometimes and that’s when I reach out. I know my counsellor is always there for me when I need to chat. That’s only possible because of amazing people like you.”

Canteen supports young cancer patients, young people struggling with the grief of losing a loved one or have a sibling or parent with cancer.
